Installed the April release, saved easyweathersetup and got the expected message: "Unable to open w34_settings1.php file check file permissions !"

With every version I have had to alter the permission for this file on my server, but this time there is no file called w34_settings1.php?

You should definitely not copy scripts from one version to another. Never, until the December version.

Only after the basic scripts all work, you can copy your own scripts to the new version.

The fresh install will start index.php => detect there is no settings1 and will start the easyweather setup.There is no settings1 file as there are new / rearranged and renamed settings which need their default values.If that not works, please post the URL so that i can take a look.

'w' Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.

I attach an un-used w34_settings1.php Can you please test:1. Unzip => upload to server/pwsWD/2. check with your ftp program what the permissions are, and make a note of it3. go to http://swanston.maui.co.uk/pwsWD/_test.php , this will start the main screen => go to settings use default password4. do not change anything, only go to the green box and save.

If that not work, make a note of the permissions again and reset the permissions of w34_settings1.php to 755

Anyway, first test failed as expected so I have changed the permissions for w34_settings1.php and that seems fine. Now I just have to add a curlopt_proxy line to w34_load_files.php and I should be good to go.

Do I need to check anything re forecast caches?

All retrieved data from WU (graphs) Darksky (forecast) metoalarm (weatheralarms) and so on are stored in the jsondata/ and charswudata/ folder.It is not known on forehand what the filenames are as sometimes a code or a language is inside the name of the file.Examples: wufct_en_s.txt warningNL014

With normal providers one can give the "folder and its contents" the permission "to be written".
